Question

Which factor contributed to the Texan defeat at the Battle of Coleto? Question options: bombardment from the heavy cannons of the Mexican navy James Fannin's decision to wait several days before withdrawing from Goliad William Travis's decision to withhold reinforcements from San Antonio Amon King's failure to post lookouts at the Texas camp

Answer 1

The correct answer is: " James Fannin's decision to wait several days before withdrawing from Goliad".

The Battle of Coleto took place in 1836 during the Texian Revolution, between Mexico and the revolutionary territory of Texas.

Colonel Fannin received the order of retreating from Goliad because, after the defeat of the Texians in the Alamo Battle, the Mexican president had sent troops that had penetrated in Texian territories. The retreat was not quick at all and the Mexican forces were able to surround the Texians and to defeat them in the so-called Battle of Coleto.
